Counter Sales Estimator

Our client has gone from being one of few glass and glazing suppliers in the early 1900's to one of many. A century of experience in the glass sector goes a long way in helping us to stand out from the crowd. Their company has built a strong understanding about how varying glass types - both the traditional and the modern can be processed effectively for the benefit of our customers. Today, they not only have an incredible array of suppliers of specialist raw materials but the capability to produce fully bespoke solutions and install these products in residential and commercial spaces across large parts of the UK.

They are recruiting a Counter Sales Estimator based in London.

In this role you will receive enquiries for the company's products and services via email, telephone and face-to-face (?over-the-counter') requests from a variety of customer types split between private consumers (B2C) and businesses (B2B) sometimes having to handle difficult discussions. As such your role will require you to have excellent interpersonal and computing skills in Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook whilst specific operating software such as Glass Office will be taught through internal training.

As Sales Estimator you will be required to produce estimates for both glass and fittings, and therefore you will require a thorough technical knowledge of glass products and fittings available within the industry and the processes involved in their production. You will be expected to understand and interpret drawings and details provided and interrogate them for accuracy or error, raising concerns appropriately. You will be expected to follow up on your estimates and enter feedback into Glass Office.

You will also have an understanding of Metric and Imperial measurements and basic mathematical and computer skills.

A knowledge of the glass or construction industry would be useful but not essential as training will be provided on the different products supplied and there uses.
